Hi all --
Well, I just got my Dish system installed, and let me tell you, it rocks. My setup is as follows....I signed up for the digital home plan and ordered a 501 and 2 301's. I got a Dish 500 and a second dish for my locals (half of them anyway). When the installer came, he said he was sorry, but he was out of 501 PVR's.......Then He whips out a 508 and said I could have it instead!!!!!Now I've got 60 hours of storage!!!!!!! Anyway, he put up the Dish 500 and then put up the second dish. Unfortunately, there is a big tree that causes me not to be able to recieve 148. Luckily, most of my locals are on the main Dish. I asked if the installer could point the idsh at 61.5 instead of 148...and he said he would. Now I'm, ready for HD when I upgrade! As I sit here enjoying Dish, I begin to wonder...Is ther any neat stuff you can do with the recievers? Any little tips? Thanks all!!
